FRANKLIN, Tenn. - A Franklin DUI officer is now the source of controversy after being accused of being drunk and passed out behind the wheel of his private vehicle in November.
Officer Brent Rose has since admitted to his mistakes and has been internally reprimanded by the Franklin Police Department; however, questions remain why he wasn't arrested and charged with DUI the night of the incident.
According to a police report, Rose drank multiple Jack Daniel's and Coke drinks at Losers Bar and Grille on the night of November 2 before driving to Tin Roof 2 around Midnight where he continued drinking on November 3.
The police report stated Rose does not remember what happened at Tin Roof 2 before he was discovered passed out in his vehicle in the exit turn lane near Carothers Parkway.
The report indicated the Rose's keys were in the ignition and the car's motor was still running. In Tennessee, it is illegal to be under the influence and behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, running or not, with the keys on your person.
Police reported that by Rose's own statements he indicated that he had been drinking alcoholic beverages for several hours. Officers also found a 32 ounce tumbler of alcohol in his car.

Wow!
Passed out, at the wheel, on the road.
Non officers would be DESTROYED.
The law is above itself.
He was let off for having a quality taste.
anybody else drunk in a car would be arrested I bet
The sooner you recognize that your gov’t is not that into you and that they are not your servants, rather you are their tax slaves, the happier you will be.
Losers Bar and Grille, and the Tin Roof 2. Sound like a couple of very classy joints! /s;)
Losers Bar and Grille - you couldn’t pick a better name.
Also note that your gov't employees are NOT your public servants. You are their tax slaves and minions.
Have a nice day...
Franklin has changed some, but; Brentwood and Franklin are just south of Nashville. Franklin’s Police Dept is part of the “good ole boys” network.
Who’s Boss Hogg?
In this case Rose should be singing Garth Brooks' old song I Got Friends in Low Places. That thin blue (hazy) line.
“...and it was at that point that I realized my life had become completely unmanageable.”
If I got pulled over by this clown, I’d bring this article to court and tell the media to show up.
I’d also get Bieber to egg his house.
